Sunday, July 1 Port Harvey Marine Resort Canada Day

The weather is all over the place with sun, rain & clouds…  The day starts off with coffee and fresh, huge cinnamon buns.  George also makes breakfast croissants.  We aren’t sure what all this is costing, just putting it on the tab.  Mid-afternoon we heard an air gun go off and then a shotgun.  Apparently a black bear was getting to close to the house.  About an hour later we hear “bear,bear!”  There is a huge brown bear (grizzly) on the shore opposite the marina.  He was too far for photos but we all enjoyed him grazing via binoculars.  The day is free and Fred changed the oil in the generator.  George and Gail have big plans for tonight.  They are serving barbequed hot dogs, chili, homemade buns and dessert.  This all got started around 7 pm.  The food was great and free.  After dinner I heard that there was going to be a horse-shoe contest.  I was wrong.  It was a “whore” shoe contest.  Two poles were set up on the dock and the contestants threw high heeled shoes, red of course.  Now the rain decided to start falling hard.  I think most of us decided to take shelter. We don’t know what the prize was for the contest.  At about 9:30 pm George and a few others went over to a spit of land across from the marina and set off fireworks.  They were excellent!  The show lasted until 10o pm.
